inaugurated that would bring in population
and thrift If the town grows and trade
increases we must look to such matters
instead Of trade and barter and selling goods
on time. We do wish we could impress this
on our people and that some tangible re-

The merchant who, with the beginning
of the year, withdraws his advertising card
from the newspaper, commits his first and
most serious business error. What would
be thought of the man, who, at the begin
ming of the year, took down his sign? 1t is
